If you are in the market for a quality used compact pickup truck in Missouri, Ackerman Toyota Dealer, home of a great selection of new and used Toyota Tacoma trucks in West County, suggests the Toyota Tacoma.
The 2012 pre-production Tacoma Toyota Racing Development (TRD) T|X (Tacoma Extreme) limited edition pickup truck was launch at the 2011 Texas State Fair. “Inspired by Toyota’s Baja racing heritage, the truck reveals bold graphics with its concept name “Baja Series.” The truck elevates the capability of Tacoma’s TRD Off-Road pickup to a new level of fun and function, “ says PressroomToyota.com.
“The Tacoma has long been the sales leader by a wide margin in the compact pickup segment thanks to its well-earned reputation for stellar quality, durability, reliability and off-road capability,” said Bob Carter, group vice president and general manager, Toyota Division. “The limited edition TRD T|X Baja Series adds another chapter to Toyota’s truck legacy by offering a new level of capability for off-road enthusiasts.”
Toyota’s history of Baja racing goes back 30 years including its involvement in the Baja 500. Toyota’s desert racing program gave rise to the production of several TRD off-road focused products and packages over the years including the Tacoma PreRunner and TRD Off-Road packages for both Tacoma and Tundra.
Under the hood, the Tacoma T|X Baja Series is powered by a 4.0-liter V6 engine mated with a 6 speed manual or a 5 speed automatic transmission. Other features include; electronically-controlled locking rear differential, Active Traction Control, Hill-Start Assist Control, and Downhill Assist Control. The Baja Series is available in several trim levels including; the TRD Off-Road package, “the limited edition T|X Baja Series which adds BF the currently equipped on the Goodrich T/A KO tires and bead-lock style off-road wheels with an exclusive Gun-Metal Gray finish, TRD Cat-back Exhaust, increased front ride height of nearly two inches and unique Baja Series graphics,” says ToyotaPress.com.
